Impact of acute kidney injury on major adverse cardiovascular events in intensive care survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury commonly occurs in patients admitted to ICU. After acute kidney injury, kidney function may not completely recover leading to increased risk of future cardiovascular events. We sought to ascertain the rates of cardiovascular events in ICU survivors and if these rates were affected by the presence of acute kidney injury whilst in ICU.

Methods

This retrospective observational cohort study utilised routinely collected data to identify patients who had survived an admission to one of two ICUs between July 2015 and June 2018. Baseline serum creatinine and subsequent values were used to identify acute kidney injury. Major adverse cardiovascular events described were myocardial injury, coronary artery intervention, or radiological evidence of stroke.<
